The Rock River Valley Racing Pigeon Club treated public to a fun event this weekend that included a fishing tournament for the kids, prizes, lunch, an awesome bird release, an animal menagerie for the kids, fire department, police and military displays, demonstration loft, military and white bird tribute release, and a chance to send a message to friends and family by pigeon.
Messages were also sent by pigeon for Governor Quinn & President Obama. The bird carrying the message for the Governor will be transported from his home loft to the Governor's office Monday morning.
If you missed your chance to see and take part in the event, you can still contact contact the club at 815-225-7399.
